Hello Everybody !

It’s my first post…  
I’am french, so I will try to explain my problem as clear as possible.

## I want to make a clip which contains a color palett (50 colors) based on 50 buttons (one for each color) When I click on a button, I want to get a small rectangula fullfilled with the color corresponding to the button selected AND in an other area (a rectangula too), I want to get the name of the color selected, for instance “blue” I find the code to fullfill the first rectangula, but I don’t know what code I must put to obtain the text area completed Your help will be the very welcome !!! (I am a beginner in AS) thanks in advance

My first lines of code :

## on (press) { var colorful = new Color("\_root.resultat"); colorful.setRGB(0xFF0000); var colorful = new Color("\_root.stickshapes"); colorful.setRGB(0xFF0000);}
